Care Functions:
- Feed: Select the fork and knife icon to feed your Tamagotchi. Choose between a meal or a snack. Be mindful of overfeeding snacks, as they can affect your character's health.
- Toilet: When your Tamagotchi leaves droppings, select the toilet icon to clean up. Prompt cleaning is essential for its health and happiness.
- Play: Engage your Tamagotchi with games to keep it happy and healthy. The Angel programming includes the Shooting Star mini-game. Play this game to improve its mood and prevent it from getting bored.

- Lights: Turn the lights on or off, especially when your Tamagotchi is sleeping, to ensure it gets proper rest.
- Praise: When your Tamagotchi calls for attention and you respond appropriately (e.g., cleaning up after it), you can praise it to reinforce good behavior.
- Health Meter: Check your Tamagotchi's health status, including hunger, happiness, and discipline, by selecting the health meter icon.
Special Feature: Tapping
The Tamagotchi Angel features a unique tapping function. Gently tap the device to:
- Bring your Angel Tamagotchi character back from a stroll.
- Scare off a mischievous bat that attempts to steal candy from your pet.
Character Evolution
The growth and evolution of your Tamagotchi Angel character depend entirely on the care you provide. Starting as an Obaketchi Angel (a ghost character), your nurturing habits will influence its development.
There are 5 distinct adult Tamagotchi Angel characters you can raise, along with potential secret characters. Consistent care, timely feeding, proper discipline, and regular play are key factors in determining which character your Obaketchi Angel will evolve into.
